I think poor Sydney shot herself in the foot when she said she wanted to have time alone with whatshisname and "adventures" before she settled down and had kids. No potential grandparents asking about grandkids want to hear that. Whereas the other one said she wanted to pop out a kid tomorrow, which is a grandparent bingo card.
That is so funny, and true. Is Granny going to come to the farm and take care of a kid? Granny wants to play Canasta and go to lunch with friends. Babysitting wears off, especially in isolation.

Why do they keep saying the farm might be too much for the girls if they married? Didn’t they know that beforehand when they all tried out for the show? Do the farmers want a wife, or a hand with all the chores? What if they wanted to keep their regular jobs? I’d like to know what exactly is expected of them. They don’t say.

When did the new moderating team arrive? I was being so cautious toward the end...maybe I didn't notice.
TWOP was not fun--not after you were suspended and/or received a warning. Primetimer has been wonderful, IMO.
I was under the impression that lots of people loved TWOP. They loved reading the stuff the next day especially. I have no idea what it was like. How long did it last?

The prices of cakes from a Bakery is outrageous. $25 for a normal size. $15 for a smaller one. I rather have the oatmeal/raison cookies from Costco.

Just one more thing. They should show all the show from the beginning. One every week. At least those were real, interesting with nicer people.

Isn't there a drug one can take for frequent nighttime urination?
Probably, but I’m very sensitive to many drugs and creams. Can’t even take vitamins. My Mother was the same.🤷♂️

It really wasn't. It was fun because we got to snark on shows and I made some good online friends. Plus the wonderful snarky recappers. Omar who recapped Smallville for most of its run; and Jacob.
No rules, you get chaos.
Damn .. I wish TW.oP or something like it would come back. It sounds so interesting. I feel like something is brewing.

I don't know why the show thinks seeing more of these people is going to make people watch the show. It's only making me want to watch it less. I hate most of these people more with every episode. Get over yourselves and STFU already. You're not as great as you think you are.
And I don't like the catty way Chloe, Michael and Austin were talking down about the other women. They may have a point, but if they think that makes them look better than them they are wrong. They are just as bad as the pink squad for acting that way.
I don't know why these people should feel like they have to hang out with their former spouses. After decision day it should be OK to move on and not have to relive the experience over and over again. This show is just greedy trying to keep it going when it should be long over.
And Chloe, just stop pushing Austin and his roommate together. I hate when people push opposite sex friends together.
I don't think Chloe and Michael are so mature. They think they are but they're just phonies. They were never really into each other and so it's easy for them to be nice to each other. I've been saying that all along. They're just lauding it over the women to look above them.
I also don't like what Chloe did to Lauren for following Michael on SM. She is as juvenile as the rest, just a phony and acting like she's above it all. I actually would believe Lauren over her on that issue. I have never bought anything out of Chloe's mouth all season and I still have great respect for Lauren even though she banded with the juvenile pink squad. I get it. She is more mature than them but she empathized with their plight having gone through something similar herself with "O-liar".
I don't think the shit talking from Cameron looks good on him. The men talk about the women but they don't look good doing it. He is one to talk about the being "toxic" and only caring about "optics". Does he own a mirror? He's always flipping the script!
Emily and her "therapist" - I'm not buying it. He doesn't talk like any real therapist, just a friend. Maybe he's one of her "dates" who volunteered to act the part of a therapist for her to show how she's trying to move on from the experience. I wonder if the show or Clarapist put her up to that since she probably has no friends left other than the pink posse. Maybe he's one of Clarapist's therapist friends that she lent her to film that segment!
I don't like how Michael and Chloe are redefining getting married as a "great experience". It just makes me think it was not for real or for keeps for either of them from the start. If it's just another bucket list "experience" the show loses its value and purpose to marry people for life. Why watch it then? I'm not interested in seeing singles have the time of their lives and not really find love.
I still don't believe for one minute believe that Chloe or Michael were really invested in finding a spouse. They just wanted the experience. I was saying that all season. I think it's great that they can be friends but I think they're showing that off in the face of the others' trauma and hurt feelings. Good for them if they have no hurt feelings but they shouldn't gloat about it and judge the others for not being ready for that. The other women had some legitimate beefs with the men. I think the women do want to heal but their experiences were much more hurtful so it will take longer. The way the others act about them shows how little they were invested in their relationships or their marriages. For all their faults and immaturity, at least the "pink posse" took it seriously.
It does look like the pink posse is making slow progress toward healing and getting beyond their grievances. I do think it will happen but slower than the others because they were really all-in on this and felt very hurt, unlike the others. And in my opinion that was understandable. It was obvious to me that the other women know that Emily is immature and is reacting like a high school girl to her first boyfriend. But I think it is nice that they are being empathic about that and only teasing her in friendship about it, not snarking on her and putting her down. Good on them for that. I actually think she might benefit from their input on that if they continue to be honest with her about her progress. So there is some hope that they will actually help each other to heal instead of staying stuck in their grievances.
Right on all counts.

I got a warning back during the pandemic for mentioning that my state had issued a mask mandate on the grounds that I was discussing politics. I did not mention anything political at all. It was just a simple statement. I got another permanent warning telling me that a temporary warning issued to me previously was now becoming a permanent one. So two for the price of one!
So, we were at their mercy. Someone a while back mentioned lots of changes coming. Hmmm, Wonder if they are starting.

For a bunch of "healed" "happy" "highest version of themselves" women, these girls are still BIG pissed.
You take me somewhere to drink unsweet chocolate, listen to a woman say random words, and then rub a stick on a bowl, we’re throwing hands.
This show has changed direction. I want to see courtship, love togetherness. I don’t want to see weird guys, tattoos, the moon and the stars on the carpet. All I see is negativity, drinking, and weird conversations spewing out of their mouths. So out of here. Yuk.

I've got three big red warnings on this site. I don't dare tell you about them but they're still in my profile.
Whaaaat? I cannot believe you got three red warnings. You ? I have two sitting there wondering if anyone sees them. I feel better now knowing I’m not the only one. I’m just learning so many of us have them.

I’ve had people get downright rude with me, when I hadn’t intended to offend anyone, or they twisted something I said. That happened a couple of times, years ago. I’ve had my feelings hurt a lot, at times. When it happened the first time, it was four months after I’d been in the hospital, when I was suicidal, and I was still very delicate. I got out of jury duty for that reason, too, the same month.
If I disagree with someone, it doesn’t mean that I hate them. I have strong social anxiety, so I’ve taken it that way before, but I try not to.
it’s easier for me to not take offense, when I think someone is insulting me, in a way that would hurt them. My sister used to do that.That is too bad. I believe if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. Now, I jus block the wise asses, and feel much better. It took awhile to learn. Not everyone has good intentions. No need. 😀This thread should be fun, not combatable. We don’t need anxiety at this point. Live and learn.

Really entertaining recaps. And very interesting (mostly) discussion. I loved hanging out reading, although I didn't post much.
Sounds like it was interesting. Thanks for the info.

There were a couple of TWoP forums I avoided after awhile. The one I remember best was Angel where the mod hated Wesley so you'd better, too, if you were going to post there. I witnessed a poster getting banned solely for asking another (Wesley neutral) poster to explain why they'd said something negative about the character--a specific remark not a general Wesley sucks post--like what is the part of the episode you mean, what action.
I was also snarked at once by a mod and it made me see red because of course if I replied in kind I would've been banned.
I never knew what TWoP was, therefor never joined. Who knew what these threads were. I’ve gotten 3 bans total, and it was insulting to say the least, as I was just sticking up for myself. It was a horror getting back on as you had to change everything. Some posters were very rude, and a couple were very helpful. Right now, everyone is letting loose,so what’s wrong with that? At least we’re not getting punished. I wonder what’s going on anyhow. Seems weird. TWoP sounded like jail. Too many rules and regulations. How was that fun? I don’t get why posters stayed on there. I don’t get it.

Heh, I only figured out what TWoP's "boards on boards" meant here on PT in the last year or so. At least, I think I figured it out. It means talking about how the site is moderated? But since I never knew what it meant on TWoP, I can't speak to specifically what constituted a minor or a ban-able infraction there.
I think maybe any use of words like "TVWoP" or "site" triggered investigation, LOL.
I got a demerit once when I posted on a popular TV show episode thread about an hour after the episode aired —
Probably Lost? I had to work until 10 p.m. on Wednesdays
— and there were already about 30 pages of comments, and I had the foolish audacity to preface my post with something like "I've only read the last 5 pages of posts…."I hadn't felt so bad since my first grade teacher told the class that everyone who was not in their seat had to go and put their heads down on their desks for 10 minutes.
WOW, that brought back memories when school was school. Now, the kids are off every other week practically for one reason or another. School now is a joke. It’s too easy.

Dragon icon: I think that was Walnut Queen. I think she is gone.
@kristen111 I got one of those school zone tickets on a Sunday in Brooklyn recently. Grr. For those from out of state, these are photo-only tickets. No cop pulling you over. So you find out about it weeks later when it shows up in the mail.
Yep. 37 mph in a 25 mph zone. Woodhaven Blvd. Queens. No school on Sunday. Mailed 50 bucks. They are probably making a fortune.

Thanks. Some I can think of off the top of my head from over on the Sister Wives threads are @TurtlePower, @Dotand @DakotaJustice. There are more from other threads too.
I feel that I was unjustly banned when I was using a different account years ago but I came back, although I can understand why others might not want to do that. In my case I am still scratching my head about why I was banned. I was upset at the time about it as I recall but there was nothing I could do about it.
Yeah, if it’s because they just don’t like a poster for some reason, why take away their enjoyment? It’s just not right. There has to be a very valid reason.

It wasn't anti-bacterial soap I had issues with. It was that specific brand of HAND SOAP. I guess they use different ingredients for their shower gel. I had issues with some of their shampoos as well (gave me bad dandruff).
Not only do I feel bad for you ..what about the little kids that suffer with all these chemicals and allergies? Some can’t even express themselves.

Oh who cares, guys are human beings with bodies too. If you feel the need to pee and only a few drops come out, that sounds like a UTI to me. Time for some Cipro?
Nope. Just was at the Urologist for a dialation. He always takes a sample. No UTI. I go like every 5 months for dialation. That’s lots of fun ..NOT. It’s a stretching of the Urethra. With 4 or 5 instruments one at a time. Yikes!

Or it was a mod with an alt account. I was once banned shortly after another poster suggested I like more posts. I politely told her I didn't like any posts and to not take it personally. I now realize she was most likely a mod in disguise. There were lots of things going on behind the scenes most of us were not privy to. One particular thread I post on would have what appeared to be a new poster swoop in and be deliberately antagonistic and start arguments and then disappear. And then a couple months later another new poster and rinse and repeat. With what I know now some people behind the scenes for their own reasons were sowing dissent on multiple threads. So the past few months have been welcome change from all that.

I know I posted a lot about how bad things at my old job got, but I'm still adjusting to my new place. On one hand, I'm grateful to be someplace where I'm not harassed, paid fairly, no bullying, nothing all that bad. There are many positives. But some days I feel so alone and miss all the good of my old job and other previous jobs.
There were people I truly cared about at my last job, even loved. I miss them SO much. I'm a single woman with a small group of family and friends. I'm also shy and anxious, so I turn down a lot of social things when I'm invited even if I wish I could get myself out there. I didn't realize how much I relied on work for my social outlet. My body confidence has gotten better, but still a work in progress, so I'm leery of dating.
I spend my days in the office working alone for the most part. Every now and then my supervisor might stop by to help, but I wondered if I'm a nuisance to her because she doesn't respond to most of my emails.
I'm not getting the proper training from her at my new job. I've had mostly good supervisors/trainers throughout the years who were very happy to help me. There were usually others around to help out too if I needed anything.
At my new job, there aren't as many people with the company period, and we're all pretty spread apart in the building. I barely interact with another human, much less have any familiar faces or friends I could go to if I need something.
I guess it is a bittersweet feeling. I still have gratitude and am trying to be positive. I've joined a gym more for my mental health than for any fitness goals. But boy, I didn't expect to be crying due to loneliness.
You know the saying “ you don’t know what you have until you don’t have it anymore”? Any chance to get your old job back? There were lots of pluses that were good for you. I met my husband in a Company that had a zillion singles working there. We met at a Company dance, dated, then got married over fifty years ago. So many singles met that way. Can’t you look for another job in a bigger company? They usually have lots of things going on. Everyone is nervous. My husband was nervous to meet me, so he sent his Cousin over to ask if he could introduce us. Hell yeah .. I said absolutely yes. I thought thst was so cute of him. It worked. See? Everyone is nervous to a degree. Take some chances. Be brave. 😍

Yep! Enjoyed about a year after menopause only wearing a panty liner. Then had to start wearing heavier pads for bladder leaks. At least HRT is keeping the hot flashes at bay.
Well, guess I’m not there yet. No liners yet. I only feel the urgency, then go into the bathroom and about 8 drops come out. If the bladder dropped, the doctor would have told me .. right? Lovely. Guess more surprises to come. Hope our Mod isn’t a guy, lol. 😅

Apparently favoritetism was at play. The luck of the draw. Who knows? Some posters get so insulted they would never come back no matter what.

Farmer Wants A Wife - General Discussion
in Farmer Wants A Wife
· Edited by kristen111
From the looks of some, where’s the closet Starbucks, Sephora and hairdressers? Fifty miles away? This show does not seem realistic. You are right. What is expected of them? Are they cooking now? I didn’t see. I just see them sitting drinking coffee.
